Book Description
From their virtual demise in the years immediately following railway nationalisation in 1948, the last quarter of the 20th century saw private-owned wagons stage a comeback to play a vital role in the resurgence of rail-borne freight in Britain. David Ratcliffe takes readers on a journey through the private owner wagon era.
